Vitaly Kuznetsov ba696429d2 x86/hyper-v: Implement EOI assist
Hyper-V TLFS suggests an optimization to avoid imminent VMExit on EOI:
"The OS performs an EOI by atomically writing zero to the EOI Assist field
of the virtual VP assist page and checking whether the "No EOI required"
field was previously zero. If it was, the OS must write to the
HV_X64_APIC_EOI MSR thereby triggering an intercept into the hypervisor."

Implement the optimization in Linux.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
